Hello?
[The audio crackles, buzzes into the correct tuning, and there's the click of a dial. A distinctive, very proper, English voice speaks over the comm unit. At least she's familiar with radio enough to manage this much.]
Is anyone there? This is...my name is Evelyn Carnahan, and this is not Cairo or Hamunaptra.
[A pause.]
I don't know where I am, and I was right in the middle of something very important, and this is exceedingly inconvenient. If someone could-
[Rustling noises.]
-if someone could please tell me what's going on, I need to find my brother, Jonathan, and our guide, Rick, as I was in the midst of an expedition, thank you, I'm in...I think it's a foyer.
...anyone?
[For those interested in seeing Evelyn in person, seeing as the last thing she can remember was falling into a river off of a boat, she's wearing a soaking wet nightgown. This. This will not stand. This is scandalous.]

Thank you.
[Evelyn fidgets for a moment.]
I...I probably shouldn't take up any more of your time, but I really did mean that. Thank you. For everything you've done to help me.

[ He smiles softy as he remembers the quote of his dear friend, glancing down at the plate where a half-eaten slice of pizza still serves as testimony of his decreased appetite.
Philip stands up. ]
...I could show you around the grounds once you've settled in.
[ One last glance at the Mai Tai on the table. Not much left except a pink paper parasol. ]
But you might want to look for a room first.

I would like that very much.
[Once she's settled in. It has a certain finality to it that makes her uneasy.]
I think I should like a room on the second floor...just up the stairs in the main hallway? There isn't anything surprising I should know about, is there?

...I can't make any promises though. The only thing that would surprise me would be if Wonderland didn't have any surprises left.

You've been so helpful. Shall I see you around, then?
[Evelyn extends her hand for one last shake - because propriety is important no matter the situation.]

Date: 2011-08-05 08:52 pm (UTC)I hope so.
[ Shake, shake, sha-- Oh, right! ]
Um, have--
[ Step back. ]
Have a good day then.
